Better than tru-green
All my neighbors have tru-green spray their lawn. When we moved in the previous owner did not treat his lawn. I had everything, clover, crabgrass, dandelions, etc. 1 year later with this app....I’ve been told my lawn should be pictured in magazines. Plus thick green grass. No weeds at all.
However I would like to see an update helping users calculate how much fertilizer/seed they need based on the size of their lawn. That would help eliminate over doing big time. Most bags are 14lbs at 5,000 square feet. Adding a tool to help measure how much each user needs would be awesome!

Worst App Ever
I was looking forward to using this app but have never had so many problems with an app ever! I was even going to recommend this app to someone else (which is something I never do), but thought let me use it first and then I’ll recommend it. Fought with it every step of the way from initially setting my password to trying to create a lawn care plan. The app kept alerting me that my password didn’t meet all parameters which it did...so I ignored the alerts and used my newly created password and logged in just fine. Answered all questions about my lawn to create my lawn care plan but at the end, when verifying my responses, at each juncture it would say “error occurred. Unable to process...Inore or Cancel”. Each time, I chose “Ignore” and it would take me to the next one but then wouldn’t create the plan. I’m done! I’ve spent WAY too much time fighting with a stupid app!

I'm still kinda new to this but,...
I think it'd be nice if there were a place in the app titled 'cause & effect'. It'd be a place where you could explain to the app all that you've done between "x" amount of dates to present time of explanation to the app so that the app doesn't mistaken you for starting fresh with a mediocre lawn. For example, I fertilized my yard last week with the fall treatment from Scott's brand and we've had a lot of rain since and are expecting more to come with cooler temps. Another words have the app contain the abilities to adapt to whatever you throw at it to help you nurture and sustain your yard to the fullest extent. That would be a great app that I'd pay to use and tell all my friends about.

Poor customer service
A couple months ago the triple action fertilizer was applied and directions were followed exactly but for some reason my yard filled with dandelions which I never had a problem before. I sent in the receipts for the 4 bags of fertilizer I bought and took pictures as proof. I emailed and chatted with CSR but once I called they showed that I have provided all the documentation needed for a refund and was told that I followed the instructions to get my money back and a refund would be issued. Well that was a couple months ago and still no action. Keep getting the run around. Now I’ve always used Scott’s products with no issues and I believe somehow I received a bad product as I do plan on still using there products but this has been a terrible disappointment with customer service which has yet to be resolved. If this is resolved per my phone conversation a couple months ago I’ll be happy but why does it take months to resolve a problem that I was told was resolved and I still continue to try and get a hold of a supervisor which I’m told don’t worry I have taken care of this.

Decent
Have been wanting something like this for a while and this is overall decent. My gripes are: there is a glitch where you have to click on the water details/info for it to refresh the weekly rain, which should happen automatically. Also the rain seems to reset on a certain day and not a rolling 7 days? Not sure but it seems inconsistent.
It is not possible to document applying the fertilizer etc earlier than the stated window, but sometimes that happens so it would be nice to be able to do. Would be. Ice if you could update that you gave a different product too (eg gave weed and feed instead of just lawn food and then have it adapt for next time...) but that is probably next level.

Texas lawn
I have lived in my home here in Texas for 5 years. I have lost the battle with the weeds and especially the sand/ grass burr. I have little paws that come in limping with those devil things stuck in them. I have paid trugreen and chem lawn and still have had them. This year I decided to try myself. They still creep in but are very sparse and I can pull them and burn them or put them in garbage can. I love the notifications of when Nd what to apply and always can find the products on sale.
I have a lush, thick lawn and the color is so much improved. I am grateful to Scott’s for empowering me to do it myself.

Great app with room to grow
Love the app but I wish there was one more feature. It has two main buttons for each step, a “Skipped” and “Applied” button, but I would also like to see a “Schedule” button so I can schedule an alert/reminder for the day I’d like to put the product down. For example, I plan on putting down GrubEx but after using the Ask Us a Question via text messaging, I was told that “Thank you for choosing Scotts Miracle-Gro. I would be happy to assist you today. I do see that you want to apply GrubEx about 2 weeks before Memorial Day for best results.” So that is when I plan to do so, but now I’m getting alerts almost daily saying “Your lawn and the weather forecast agree: Tuesday is a great day for applying Scotts® GrubEx®”. So 1, I’m getting conflicting information, and 2, it would be nice to be able to schedule a reminder instead of having to use a separate calendar app to plan it out.

Solid app for product schedules
So far found it to be a good app for keeping you on track with which Scott’s product to apply and when. Provides nice tool to estimate lawn size if your not sure and input condition of lawn. Also let’s you keep up rainfall data. Tools for estimating condition is fairly simple but being subjective in nature those with larger yards could find it a bit more difficult depending on current condition. Could use a bit more features around irrigation. Would be nice to put in your irrigation schedules and zone/sprinkler data and it provide rough estimated weekly watering from irrigation. Right now you have to input overall inches manually every week. I’m looking at Scott’s new Gro controller so hopefully integration will come with that in future.

Best lawn in the block!!
I have always prided myself on having a nice lawn until I move into my new house about five years ago. No matter what I did, the color was pale, the grass was sparse, and crabgrass seemed to be creeping up everywhere. I had virtually given up and decided to take it all out at the end of summer and start over--that is, until I discovered this app and the people behind it! I have had beautiful lawns for over 40 years, and I was skeptical that this app could possibly make a difference. How wrong that I have been?! The expert who helped me through it give me a plan and told me to just be patient – that I was doing everything I should. By the end of summer, it is now truly the prettiest, most lush lawn I have EVER grown, and even strangers passing by are constantly commenting and asking what I'm using to make it so nice.

Easy way to a great lawn
I'm in a brand new house and my lawn looked awful. Light green and brown. I'm new to having a lawn with zoysia grass so wasn't sure what needed to be done to get it looking good. I was expecting this app to likely be useless but have been pleasantly surprised. This app walks you through several questions about your lawn and then generated a plan. I followed the first steps of recommended fertilizer application, mowing height and watering and now I already have one of the best looking yards in the neighborhood. This app tracks rain levels to let you know when to water and also sends you out plan reminders. I'm satisfied with this app so far. I'll also add that I found the app intuitive to use.
